Outstanding international students are invited to apply for a PhD scholarship at Cardiff University. The funds for this fellowship are available for 5 years. Applications should be sent before December 14, 2018.

The EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership offers up to 78 studentships which will be 3.5 years (four years for CASE awards) full time or up to seven years part-time. The research project below is in competition with other projects in the School for the 2019/20 intake. The projects which receives the best applicant(s) will be awarded the funding

Additional funding is available over the course of the programme and will cover costs such as research consumables, training, conferences and travel. Applicants with a Lower Second Class degree will be considered if they also have a master's degree. Applicants with a minimum Upper Second Class degree and significant relevant non-academic experience are encouraged to apply. The Doctoral Training Partnership welcomes applications from both UK and EU applicants; however, as a consequence of the EU referendum result, final award decisions will depend on the outcomes of the UK/EU negotiations. Full awards (fees plus maintenance stipend) are open to UK Nationals and EU students who can satisfy UK residency requirements. To be eligible for the full award, EU Nationals must have been in the UK for at least three years prior to the start of the course for which they are seeking funding, including for the purposes of full-time education. A small number of awards may also be made available to EU Nationals who do not meet the above residency requirement, provided that they have been ordinarily resident in the EU for at least three years prior to the start of their proposed programme of study. Enquiries on individual student eligibility for EPSRCDTP studentships should be made to postgradenquiries@cardiff.ac.uk.
